This is another new infrastructure in Dili that can support tourism development, a new ferry jetty. Before tourism, I think there is no body in this country who is happier than people from Oe-cusse and Atauro. Also, tourists both local and foreign will have the same feeling. From now on they have a dedicated facility to depart and arrive at. Their departure from Dili will be a whole lot more comfortable and safer now.
The jetty project was financed by Japanese government through a grant aid project. Different from the current old, small, enclosed, and unsafe area, the new jetty has an ample space to wander in. People can see each other off while taking selfie photos as well as do other fun activities. They will no longer be worried of getting hit by a car, or forklift which is busy lifting cargo containers near the ferry ramp.
It becomes a new node for people who are going out and in of Dili via sea water. They will see this new jetty as a destination and origin before their homes. Since it is a new thing, we hope more people can't wait to experience. The new positive experience is going to be told in folds from mouth to mouth across islands, and countries. The improving image of Dili can start to build up.
There is still one shortcoming though. The government needs to construct a terminal building to complete the whole facility. It is necessary to have a functional, comfortable, and if possible, attractive and modern terminal building.
**Hope this gives you an inspiration.
